Chapter 533 Where does the artillery come from?

"Ah Jing!!!"

Zhu Qingyan's voice came from not far away, followed by less than a hundred soldiers.

Zhu Qingyan almost fell off his horse and fell to Murong Jing.

The soldiers behind her soon engaged in battle with Cheng Lian and others.

Zhu Qingyan picked up Murong Jing's body, his hands felt hot and wet, and then he realized that her back was soaked with blood.

Zhu Qingyan's hands trembled violently as he took off Murong Jing's ghost mask. Murong Jing's face was pale except for a hint of red on the corners of her lips which was particularly eye-catching.

Murong Jing opened her eyes with difficulty, "Why are you here... Aren't you here to protect His Majesty..."

“Your Majesty is worried that something might happen to you, so he asked me to bring people to help you.

Ah Jing, I will take you away and find the best doctor to treat your injuries. You will be fine..."

Zhu Qingyan wanted to carry Murong Jing on her back, but Murong Jing gently grabbed her hand and shook her head.

"When I was little, I told you that I wanted to be a great hero...

The best fate for a hero... is to die on the battlefield... I have no regrets..."

Zhu Qingyan's tears fell on Murong Jing's face. The boundless fear surrounded her tightly as if it were a substance, making it difficult for her to breathe.

"Don't cry..."

Murong Jing wanted to raise her hand to wipe away her tears, but she had no strength. She could only pull the corners of her mouth and said in a soft tone for the first time in her life:

"You know, I won't die... I'm always here..."

"I know, I know." Zhu Qingyan burst into tears. She could feel something quietly slipping away from Murong Jing's body.

The yellow sand is endless, the setting sun in the sky is like blood, and the crows are crying.

Murong Jing slowly turned her head, her dark red pupils reflected the shape of the setting sun, which gradually became dimmer and dimmer.

Zhu Qingyan only felt the temperature in his arms getting colder and colder, and finally burst into a heart-wrenching cry.

Her voice was quickly drowned out by the sounds of fighting nearby.

Zhu Qingyan gently put Murong Jing's body down, raised his hand to wipe away his tears, leaving a scarlet mark on his face.

"Ah Jing, I'll do what you haven't finished for you."

She trembled as she picked up the ghost mask that had been with Murong Jing for many years and put it on her face.

Then he picked up Murong Jing's gun.

In an instant, the eyes behind the mask became as cold as ice blades, full of murderous intent.

She looked at Cheng Lian and others who were fighting with the troops she brought not far away.

"The reward for treason, disloyalty, and betrayal is death."

Zhu Qingyan had just jumped onto his warhorse when he suddenly heard the laughter of King Zhenbei.

"Hahaha...you little brat, do you really think that a mere hundred thousand defenders can stop our Northern Frontier Iron Cavalry?"

King Zhenbei said loudly to Cheng Lian and the others:

"Jing'er is dead, you must fight quickly and decisively, the emperor boy won't be able to hold out for long.

Follow me and fight back. Each of you will be a great hero!"

The King of Zhenbei was standing on a high ground, and Zhu Qingyan couldn't get through on horseback for a while, so he could only deal with Cheng Lian and the other four.

After all, they were the famous brave guards of the Northern Frontier. Although they were no match for Murong Jing, they could easily defeat ten ordinary soldiers at once.

The battle situation on Yan Xiuyun's side was very stressful. It was already very difficult to ask Zhu Qingyan to bring people to find Murong Jing, and it was also difficult to assign more manpower to her.

Zhu Qingyan only brought less than a hundred people, infantrymen, and now there are less than twenty people left.

Zhu Qingyan rushed into the formation and soon started fighting with Cheng Lian.

She is quite skilled in martial arts and has great talent, so she can fight Cheng Lian alone, but the other three guards will not stand idly by.

With four people attacking together, Zhu Qingyan immediately felt a little overwhelmed.

In the past, she devoted herself to practicing the soft sword. However, the soft sword was light and unpredictable, but not strong enough, and was not suitable for fighting on the battlefield.

The weapons in her hands suddenly changed to long swords and spears, and she could not master them in such a short time.

At this time, facing Cheng Lian and other veterans, Zhu Qingyan was already overwhelmed after several fierce attacks from the enemy.

A sneer appeared on the corner of King Zhenbei's mouth, knowing that Zhu Qingyan would die within ten rounds.

He jumped on his horse, ready to lead the remaining guards back to the battlefield.

Just then, the sound of galloping horses came again behind him.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I have finally found you! Something terrible has happened!"

The visitor finally saw King Zhenbei, and rushed to him shouting, tears streaming down his face.

King Zhenbei recognized this man as Lou Yousong's deputy general, and he should be with Lou Yousong in Danzhou City at this moment.

King Zhenbei felt nervous and immediately asked him what was wrong.

The deputy general cried:

"Danzhou...Danzhou City is under siege and is about to be lost...

"My Lord, please return to rescue us!"

"What!?" King Zhenbei was horrified.

But he quickly calmed down. Although Danzhou was important, even the emperor had led the army in person.

If I could capture the emperor directly, what would be the use of Danzhou!

King Zhenbei said loudly to the people who were besieging Zhu Qingyan:

"Don't get entangled with her. The imperial guards should have been defeated by now. Go quickly and capture the emperor alive!"

As soon as King Zhenbei finished speaking, he heard several loud noises coming from the battlefield, and soon black smoke floated in the sky!

The memory of fear was instantly aroused, and King Zhenbei's face turned pale in an instant, and his eyes widened in disbelief.

Don’t they have any more artillery available?

Could it be that... Long was deceiving himself, and there were actually cannons hidden inside Qingshi Pass, just to trick him into taking the bait?

Yes, that must be the case, otherwise how could the hundreds of thousands of people in Qingshi Pass dare to come out and chase the Northern Frontier Army! ?

“Damn it! Damn it!” The veins on King Zhenbei’s forehead bulged and his eyes were bloodshot.

If the emperor really brought cannons, then I would have no chance of winning!

Not only the King of Zhenbei, the fear of artillery has long been deeply ingrained in every soldier in the Northern Frontier.

It was a terrifying thing that they had never seen before. It could split the earth and collapse mountains, and turn people into ashes in an instant!

So when those loud noises were heard, the soldiers from the Northern Frontier almost stayed where they were at the same time.

In extreme fear, they began to scream and run around, abandoning their weapons and armor.

"Retreat! Tell everyone to retreat quickly! Go back to defend Danzhou!!!"

King Zhenbei roared, hiding the panic in his eyes.

He didn't understand why the other side still had artillery, but he knew very clearly -

No matter what, we must not let the main force engage in direct combat with the enemy's artillery!

Zhu Qingyan was injured in many places and was only holding on with the last bit of willpower.

Looking at the hastily retreating backs of Cheng Lian and others, she felt her eyelids becoming heavier and heavier, and finally fainted on the ground.
